The Fourth Sunday in Lent
March 31, 2019
 
"We invite everyone to share communion around God's altar. 
We strive to be a welcoming and relevant Christian community doing what matters through prayer, worship, teaching, outreach, fellowship, and service.  
 
We will demonstrate the real life application of scripture, tradition, and
reason by providing a safe place to respond to each other's needs,   
hurts, joys, and interests."

This Sunday's Anthem:

That Priceless Grace
Traditional Ghanaian Tune
arr. John Helgen

That priceless grace, that priceless grace, 
that priceless grace, which gave me life: 
Jesus' life is priceless grace. 
That priceless grace is life for me.

That priceless blood, that priceless blood, 
that priceless blood was shed for me: 
Jesus' blood is priceless grace. 
That priceless grace is life for me.

That painful death, that painful death, 
that painful death took sins away: 
Jesus' death is priceless grace. 
That priceless grace is life for me.

That precious word, that precious word, 
that precious word, which brought me light: 
Jesus' word is priceless grace. 
That priceless grace is life for me.
